Garbage Researchers Featured in Newspaper
The Lewiston Sun Journal featured a group of UMaine students who are sorting trash around the state this summer as part of a Maine State Planning Office-funded study to gauge Maine’s solid waste habits. Travis Blackmer, an economics student, told the newspaper the students will be able to look at recycling in each community to see what works and what doesn’t. The students were working at the Lisbon Transfer Station and have plans to travel to Belfast, Houlton and Skowhegan following previous stops in Norway, Ogunquit and Paris.
